This agreement, unveiled at Netflix's "Next on Netflix" event in Tokyo, signals a deepening commitment to Japanese content and production. The collaboration aims to produce up to 15 projects annually at the studio.

"Human Vapor" Remake Spearheads Collaborative Efforts

The streaming service is positioning itself to be a major player in the Japanese entertainment market.
